Ultrasound shear wave elastography of breast lesions: correlation of anisotropy with clinical and histopathological findings

Abstract Background Ultrasound shear-wave elastography (SWE) may increase specificity of breast lesion assessment with ultrasound, but elasticity measurements may change with transducer orientation, defined as anisotropy. In this study, we aimed to observe the anisotropy of SWE of breast lesions, an...
